2012 Map of Arrow Canyon

About this map

Arrow Canyon and its associated range dominate this section of the Nevada desert within Clark County, showing an intricate drainage system typical of the arid Basin and Range province. This 2012 survey highlights the convergence of several ephemeral waterways, including Pahranagat Wash and the descriptive Side Canyon Wash, which carve through the stony landscape of the Arrow Canyon Range. The topography is defined by these dry washes and the prominent Side Canyon, which serve as the primary conduits for seasonal runoff. For the researcher or land historian, the map provides a precise look at the landforms in this part of the Mojave before further modern development, capturing landmarks like Battleship Wash and Hidden Wash in their natural state.
